Question

Identify the labels of the diagram.

• A. 1 - Nucleus, 2 - Dendrite, 3 - Cell body, 4 - Axon, 5 - Nerve ending
• B. 1 - Axon, 2 - Cell body, 3 - Nucleus, 4 - Dendrite, 5 - Nerve ending
• C. 1 - Nucleus, 2 - Cell body, 3 - Axon, 4 - Dendrite, 5 - Nerve ending
• D. 1 - Nerve ending, 2 - Nucleus, 3 - Dendrite, 4 - Cell body, 5 - Axon

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1 - Nucleus, 2 - Dendrite, 3 - Cell body, 4 - Axon, 5 - Nerve ending

1 - Nucleus, 2 - Dendrite, 3 - Cell body, 4 - Axon, 5 - Nerve ending

The nucleus is present in the main cell body. Dendrites are the projections of cell body that receive messages from other neurons and passes them to the cell body. Axon is the long extension of the nerve cell that transmits nerve impulses from the cell body to other neurons. At the end of the axon (nerve ending), the l impulse sets off the release of some chemicals. These chemicals cross the gap, or synapse, and start a similar electrical impulse in a dendrite of the next neuron.
